I AM AN ARCHITECT
Establishing His Own Practice
Park Jiyoun (Park): I looked at your Instagram before the interview and asked you about your architectural notebook, and now you’ve brought it along with you. It looks as if you made this notebook yourself.
Lee Seungho (Lee): These notebooks contain all of my notes from the lectures I attended, books I read, and design ideas from the time when I was a student. It is divided by semester, and if you look at the middle, there are also the signatures of domestic and foreign architects received when I attended their special lectures. (laugh) I bought cheap pieces of paper and ring bound them. At first, I only had paper of A4 size, but later I personally cut the pages to make it easier for me to carry them around and I also used different bindings with various types of paper. When making a record of ideas or sketching, there are times when you need a different type of paper. I took these notebooks with me to my first job interview because, with these, I can literally lay out what I engaged with during my student days. I worked this hard, I said. (laugh)
Park: You must have made the clear impression that you are serious about architecture.
